What are followers and what is following?
A Follower is a Stumbler who is Following you. If your Followers enjoy your Likes and Additions, and Like them, then these pages will increase in popularity, circulate more widely and be seen by other Stumblers who Follow the same Interests.

Following a Stumbler will add their Likes to your stream of recommended pages (where your Interests coincide). You should only Follow another Stumbler if you want their Likes to influence your future Stumbles. You can follow a maximum of 600 members.
